Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lance the Spirit

"How long have you been following Ram?" Vane asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The spirit said in a trembling voice, "I've been following him since he entered the Bones Town. Ram, who had killed a thousand knives, summoned me from another world and imprisoned me in this storage pocket. I will always remember that day, that afternoon, when I was still in the psychic world, kissing me and my dear little flower, who is a famous beauty in our town, and I was chasing her ......"

"Alright, alright. Vane waved his hand impatiently and said, "Straight to business." I ask you, do you know why he is targeting me?"

That's what Wayne really cares about. In his memory, he had no grudges with this Ram in the past and no enmity in the near future, why did this thing kill him?

"I know that. The spirit immediately recalled, "He took a mission on the black market, and it is said that someone bought your life for twenty points. Let me tell you, Ram, who killed a thousand knives, just didn't have enough points, and he had been fancy an apprentice-level prop for a long time, so he was short of these points. That prop is said to be able to imprison the spirit body, so as to generate a steady stream of energy, I guess he must be targeting me, and it is reasonable for a powerful and handsome person like Uncle Ben to be wary of jealousy......"

The spirit was like a chatter, and once it spoke, it couldn't stop its mouth, and it began to babble crookedly.

"Shut up. Vane was tired of his argument, and immediately drank: "To get to the point, let me ask you, what is the black market, and who wants to buy my life?"

The spirit trembled at Vane's fear, and after a while said, "The black market is an underground market in this academy, where most of the apprentices trade and accept tasks that cannot be put on the surface. As for who exactly wants to buy your name, I don't know. Because the black market is an anonymous transaction, there is no way to query the person who posted the task. But one of the conditions for the completion of that mission is to bring back the crow on your shoulder. ā€

"Want this crow?" Vane glanced at Number Two, and something suddenly sounded.

The spirit still couldn't stop talking and continued to gush: "This Ram, who killed a thousand knives, coveted twenty points and wanted to murder the adult, but fortunately, the adult is wise and powerful, has excellent wisdom, and has an extraordinary destiny ......."

Vane touched his chin and sneered: "There are not many people who have a grudge against me, but there is only that person who has a grudge against me and covets Robot No. 2." ā€

For those who kill him, Vane will never let go easily.

In order to show loyalty, the spirit body still continued to pat the horse's ass: "The great man is famous for his martial arts, and the villain's admiration for you is like a surging river. ā€

Vane didn't accept this, he threatened to the spirit and said, "Let me ask you, Nalam has been following me before, as if he has opened his eyes to heaven, and can know exactly where I am, do you know why?"

Previously, although Vane deliberately leaked his whereabouts under the pretense of trying to lure Ram out. But he soon found that he didn't have to do this at all, this Ram seemed to know where Vane was, and whenever Vane changed positions, he could follow him accurately.

"I know, I know. The spirit body said again and again: "Ram, who kills a thousand knives, has a prop called a locator, as long as you put in an item with the breath of the adult, this locator can accurately find the direction of the adult." ā€

"Oh, there's this thing. ā€

"Yes, yes. This thing is in the storage pocket, and adults can open it if they don't believe it. By the way, just a few days ago, Ram, who killed a thousand knives, also found two friends of the adult and obtained a few hairs from them. ā€

"My two friends?"

"Yes, a little white face, who looks like Sven, and the other one who is tall and has short hair and a flat head, I remember as if it was called ...... Called Taylor and ...... Frank. ā€

Vane's face suddenly darkened.

"These two lovely classmates of mine didn't expect to sell me so easily. Vane laughed angrily: "Two jumping clowns, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." ā€

"Tell me all the useful secrets you know. Finally knowing why Ram was targeting him, Vane began to press the spirits.

This spirit itself seemed to have a grudge against Ram, so he didn't hide it at the moment, and said again and again: "My lord, the little one does know a secret about Ram who killed a thousand knives. Ram, who killed a thousand knives, never looked at me squarely, always enslaved me, and wanted to turn me into a ghost, so he never watched out for me, and did everything in front of me, so I knew everything he was planning, quack, quack, ......"

"Can you get to the point. Vane looked at the spirit speechlessly.

"Ahem. The spirit coughed awkwardly and said, "My lord, this is an old problem, once the little one speaks, he can't stop his mouth, he always wants to say enough, and say everything he wants to say in his heart." ā€

Seeing that Vane's face was getting more and more ugly, the spirit immediately changed his words and said, "My lord, it's like this. Just a few months ago, Ram, who had killed a thousand knives, discovered a secret. It's about the secret of the first dean, the fourth-level wizard Ralph. ā€

Dean Ralph?!

Vane's eyes lit up. But there is no one in the town of bones who does not know the name of Ralph. This legendary fourth-level wizard single-handedly founded the town of bones and established its status as one of the five legendary academies. However, thousands of years ago, teleporting him had already broken through the barriers of the world and entered the higher-level wizarding world.

Ram, who had killed a thousand knives, accidentally heard a few last words from Ralph during a mission. "It was in a cave at the time, and there were many traps in this cave, and there were all kinds of wild undead, and I heard that Ralph was also a wizard of the school of the undead before, and the situation was very dangerous, and I thought it was going to be over......"

"Shut up. Vane snorted coldly, this spirit didn't focus on what he said, and he was biased as he spoke.

Vane said coldly, "I asked you what this message was. I'm not interested in knowing what you were like. ā€

"Okay, okay. The spirit nodded like a peck: "I remember that there were a few messages from Ralph in the cave at that time, saying that I had stored the things I valued most in the academy and told everyone where the treasures were kept. ā€

There was silence.

After a long time, Vane frowned and said, "Gone?"

The spirit whispered in a little fear, "No...... Nope. ā€

"That's it?" Vane didn't believe it.

"Really, yes...... It's true. I swear by my soul that I absolutely did not lie to you. Although I usually like to play tricks, but I will never deceive people easily, I give the nickname Honest Xiao Langjun, of course, this is also a bit too much, after all, I still occasionally prefer beautiful girls, but this time I really didn't lie to you......"

The spirit was momentarily incoherent with excitement, as if it was afraid that Vane would pinch him to death if he didn't believe him. After all, his life now depended on Vane's whim.

"I kept the things I valued most in the academy and told everyone where the treasures were kept. Vane pondered this sentence and had all kinds of questions in his mind.

What is Ralph's most valuable thing?

What does it mean to tell everyone the location of the collection?

Vane felt that there seemed to be something hidden in this sentence, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

After a long time, Vane simply didn't think much of it. Prepare to get up and leave the land of right and wrong.

"What's your name?" Vane asked the spirit.

"Small...... The small one has no name. The spirit was extremely nervous at this moment, and he seemed to sense that his time of judgment had finally come, and immediately said: "In our psychic world, spirits are not distinguished by name, and each of us has our own unique smell, and this smell is our name. ā€

"Since you don't have a name, I'll give you a name. Vane touched his chin and thought, "Why don't you just call Lance?" ā€

"Okay, thank you, for the name. Spirit Lance said excitedly.

"You can follow me from now on. Vane took the storage purse into his arms, and he thought of a use for the creature in his spirit state. If used correctly, it may be able to solve a problem that has been bothering him for a long time.

"Okay, the little one knows that the adult must be kind-hearted, and will not abandon the lonely villain in the wilderness, and the villain's respect for the adult is really like a surging river......"

......

By the time Vane returned to the town, it was nearly evening.

Before he could return to the tower, a dripping sound suddenly caught his attention.

It is the sound of the point card which oneself carries around.

Vane pulled out his card and found that a few words flashed on it, saying that there were now fifteen points credited to his account.

"Hey, what's wrong with my points?" Vane wondered. It's not the end of the month yet, and there haven't been a lot of golems for sale in the tower lately, so it's a bit inexplicable that these points are coming from.

"Brother Vain, you're back. Dirac saw Vane coming back from afar, and trotted over.

There were few people in the town at this time, and Dirac noticed Vane at a glance.

"Oh?" Vane said as he looked at Dirac, "Is something wrong?"

"Of course something happened. Dirac laughed, "It's just a good thing." Alexia's black cat went home on its own, so our mission was a failure, but Alexia seemed to be very interested in the gray space we had discovered, so he gave us a large amount of points, more than a hundred points, mainly in exchange for specific information about that space. ā€

"Information, what information?" Vane wondered.

"Actually, it's nothing, just ask us what we found in that gray space at that time, and some of the feelings at that time. There were also a lot of black-robed apprentices who came over to take notes. It seemed that Mistress Alexia was interested in the gray space. Dirac smiled. With an extra point out of thin air, anyone will be happy.

He then said: "You have the most credit for being able to get out of the gray space this time, so when you divide the points, I give you the part you deserve according to the degree of contribution." ā€

Unexpectedly, although Dirac's brain is not very good, it is fairly distributed, and Vane nodded and thanked at the moment: "Thank you so much." ā€

To be able to have fifteen more points, Vane is also very happy. In this way, the points in his hand have reached twenty-two points at this moment, which is enough for him to go to the library tower again.

After separating from Dirac, Vane looked at the scorecard in his hand and said secretly in his heart: "If I guessed correctly, the gray space has actually been discovered a long time ago, and our mission was just artificially arranged." ā€

From the very beginning of the one-eyed man-eating snake swarm, Vane felt as if he had been manipulated all along. The snakes didn't hurt them, but drove them to the gray space, which was suspicious.

"Now it seems that there were twenty-five of us, but twenty-five guinea pigs. was herded into the gray space to be used for experiments by the big guys. "There is nothing unfair in Vane's heart, this world is originally the law of the jungle, and the official wizards are high, and it is good to be willing to give you a little compensation afterwards.

"Sure enough, that Alexia-sama should be the master of this experiment. Vane put away his points card. Looking back now, many details are already pointing to Alexia, such as the fact that she sends out a mission to find the black cat for the compass of the people, and the compass leads everyone to the group of one-eyed man-eating snakes.

Vane had actually guessed it from the moment he left the gray space.

Only, he doesn't say.

This kind of thing, the smart thing to do is to keep silent and swallow your anger.

"If you don't have the strength, you have to endure everything. Vane was also helpless, in fact, his experience was good, at least Alexia symbolically gave everyone a lot of points afterwards. In the dark wizard world, many mentors directly use apprentices for experiments, and no one cares if they die.

"However, while I can't compete with a full-fledged wizard, it's not something that anyone can mess with. Vane remembered Ram, and his eyes changed for a moment.

"Terrence, I'm going to make you pay soon. ā€

Hostile to himself and greedy for Two, the only thing Vane can think of is Terrence. This person had already had a little quarrel with Vane before entering the academy, and after so long, Vane thought that the other party had forgotten, after all, it was not a big deal.

didn't expect the other party to buy a murder for this little quarrel.

Wayne couldn't bear it.

......

Night falls.

Inside the tower.

Vane lay in his room and continued to meditate, trying to improve his proficiency with the energy factor.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a black book lying next to his bed.

It was "The Autobiography of Ralph Benjamin" that he had finished reading not long ago.

Wayne just wanted to take a break when he opened his eyes this time, and it was only a coincidence that he saw the book. But it was this coincidence that exploded a spark in Vane's mind.

"Wait. Vane seemed to have something in mind.

"I kept the things I valued most in the academy and told everyone where the treasures were kept. ā€

Vane remembered Ralph's message again. If Lance hadn't deceived himself, then ......
